Rare Wwii Raf Escape Compass Rasc Cover 25mm Button Case, S. O. E. Special Ops Ex

1 X RARE WWII RAF/ROYAL AIR FORCE ESCAPE COMPASS RASC/ROYAL ARMY SERVICE CORPS 25MM BUTTON CASE COVER - S. SPECIAL OPS EXECUTIVE - ORIGINAL RAF ESCAPE COMPASS BUTTON CASE WITH A SECOND RASC BUTTON OVERLAID. PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BECAUSE THE RAF BUTTON CASING WAS ALREADY PRODUCED AND IT WAS EASIER TO JUST PUT ANOTHER COVER OVER IT BECAUSE MANY OTHER CORPS AND REGIMENTS WERE ISSUED WITH ESCAPE COMPASSES. THE CONDITION OF THE RASC IS GOOD, IT LOOKS LIKE THE THREADS HAVE BEEN STRIPPED HENCE WHY THERE IS NO BACKING OR COMPASS, LOOKING CLOSELY AT THE THREAD MARKS, THESE RUN FROM LEFT UPWARDS TO THE RIGHT, SO THIS MEANS A LEFT HANDED THREAD, (TO FOOL THE GERMANS) PROBABLY WHY IT IS STRIPPED.

YOU DON'T SEE MANY OF THESE ABOUT AND IT IS INTERESTING IN THAT IT IS RAF WITHIN AN RASC BUTTON COVER. WE TRY TO OFFER OUR CUSTOMERS A GOOD AND FAIR SERVICE.
